These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.

YMMV: The Tripods

Harsher in Hindsight: It's bad enough when we learn that Eloise's reward for wining the contest is to serve the Tripods in their City. It's even worse when we learn that she serves them as a stuffed specimen.
Serial Numbers Filed Off: The Tripods are inspired by the fighting machines from The War Of The Worlds, as is the appearance of the Masters as giant tentacled heads.
Take That: When the Tripods Came is supposed to have been inspired by an actual critic complaining that the Tripods could only scan in the visible light region.
